Everest Base camp Trek

Everest Base Camp is a term that is used to describe two base camps on opposite sides of Mount Everest!

Usually yaks and porters are used to ship supplies to the south base camp, i.e. Nepal Everest base camp. Instead of hardcore Jiri to Everest base camp, many have now flown into Lukla from Kathmandu to save time. Also, trail from Lukla is well marked and difficulty grade is demanding. According to 2015 stats, forty thousand people each year climb to Mount Everest base camp. The weather is mild and stable during fall and spring. Many people trek in the month of September, November & December and March, April & May. Few goes for winter adventure in the months of December, January & February.
